Inter Miami is coming into this 1st match of the season with very high hopes this year as they are the favorite to win the Eastern Conference. Inter Miami acquired Lionel Messi last season and even though it was too late to turn things around when he got there, he has transformed this team in a short amount of time. They have also brought in some familiar faces for him to play with including a winter transfer bringing in Luis Suarez to join him on the attack after a great season for Gremio in Brasil last year. They are going up against a Real Salt Lake City side that made it to the playoffs last season but did not do much once there. Real Salt Lake was a middle of the pack team last season and they did not make any big splashes in the transfer window to drastically improve their team either. Inter Miami has been building a very strong team in the MLS over the last few months and now that they are beginning from the start of the season, they are going to be trying to dominate the MLS all season. No team in the league has the talent that this team has and they are going to use this opening match of the season to send a message that this team here and it is going to be a Messi season for anyone else trying to compete with them. Inter Miami will win this match at home and collect all 3 points here, take Inter Miami -1.
USA MLS: Inter Miami -1, Rot. 209802
